Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 372: Chapter 73: Power Surge

Picking up three Soul Crystals (Medium), Su Xiao attempts to enhance Sword Technique Master: LV.10.

[Enhancing Sword Technique Master Lv.10 requires Soul Crystal (Medium) ×1 and 6000 Paradise coins.]

Although the cost is not low, it is within Su Xiao’s acceptable range. To become stronger quickly, enhancing Sword Technique Master is undoubtedly the best choice.

The Soul Crystals (Medium) in his hand shatter, and Paradise coins quickly decrease.

[Sword Technique Master has been enhanced to Lv.11.]

[Sword Technique Master has been enhanced to Lv.12.]

[Sword Technique Master has been enhanced to Lv.13.]

In an instant, three Soul Crystals (Medium) and 18000 Paradise coins were consumed. All of this came from Su Xiao risking his life, but the expenditure is worth it, he has become stronger.

After half an hour, Su Xiao’s eyes open, Dragon Slash appears in his hand, the feeling of holding the sword is now completely different from before.

Becoming stronger hasn’t ended there, Su Xiao picks up [Great Sword Master’s Swordsmanship Insights], which can enhance Sword Technique Master by 5 levels.

[Use Great Sword Master’s Swordsmanship Insights? Yes/No]

Selecting use, the space around him surges, Su Xiao is momentarily stunned, this is the precursor to being teleported.

Light and shadow flicker before his eyes, Su Xiao finds himself in a dojo.

Looking around, Su Xiao feels a sense of familiarity.

”Is this... the Trial Field?”

Su Xiao is puzzled, how using a scroll got him to the Trial Field.

”My disciple, let’s begin.”

A strong voice resounds, Su Xiao looks carefully and sees a strong elderly man with fluffy golden hair and a half ship’s helm atop his head standing not far away. From a distance, this guy looks like a golden rooster.

This is Sky Admiral Golden Lion from the Pirate World, a renowned Great Pirate, what on earth is going on.

Su Xiao is confused, he previously thought that using the Great Sword Master’s Swordsmanship Insights would directly enhance Sword Technique Master by 5 levels.

But now it seems that’s not the case, it’s letting Golden Lion personally guide him until his sword technique increases by 5 levels, and then Golden Lion disappears.

Though it’s different from what he imagined, Su Xiao is overjoyed, this is more reliable than a jump in enhancement of Sword Technique Master.

If a native of the Pirate World were to get the Great Sword Master’s Swordsmanship Insights, they’d need to study it slowly to enhance their strength.

Now the Great Sword Master’s Swordsmanship Insights has been certified by Reincarnation Paradise and determined to be of Dark Purple Quality, so Reincarnation Paradise eliminated the reading process, converting it into the current form.

[Support training mode has been activated.]

With Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt, Su Xiao’s mind becomes clear, his understanding of things greatly enhanced.

[Time lock completed, this scene will disappear after the Hunter’s sword technique is enhanced by 5 levels. During this period, the Hunter must focus on enhancing sword technique or swordsmanship. If any other actions are detected, the scene will terminate.]

Su Xiao nods, Dark Purple Quality items are vastly different from Purple ones.

”Stop dawdling, let’s start.”

Golden Lion urges Su Xiao, Su Xiao draws out Dragon Slash, Golden Lion gives him a peculiar feeling, as if he’ll only impart knowledge related to sword technique or swordsmanship.

”First, you need to understand what a sword is, what is the will behind your sword wielding...”

Golden Lion imparts his knowledge without reservation, and Su Xiao listens intently, like a dried-up sponge quickly absorbing ’moisture’.

After Golden Lion explains for a while, he draws two swords, ’Sakura Ten’ and ’Withered Wood’, from his waist.

The sound of weapons clashing can be heard. Within minutes, Su Xiao admits defeat, despite Golden Lion not going all out.

”Your fundamentals are solid, but something is missing from your cleave.”

Golden Lion sits cross-legged on the ground, with both legs intact, not replaced by two swords.

”In the initial stages, swordsmanship is about power and technique, but as you advance, it’s different. Swordsmanship isn’t just about using the sword technique, it’s a process of growing stronger, self-realization, understanding the heart, understanding the sword, and even understanding nature.”

Golden Lion swings a sword out of thin air, flames swirling around the blade of ’Sakura Ten’, the heat is palpable.

”Remember, training in swordsmanship is a process of continuously breaking one’s limits, growing stronger internally and externally. At your current level, don’t concern yourself with basic movements—slashing, chopping, thrusting, stabbing. These movements have already become part of your blood, you can instinctively perform the most standard actions.”

Su Xiao remains silent, not wanting to interrupt the precious guidance of Golden Lion.

”Do not be confused, do not doubt. Whether your swordsmanship is for killing or saving, it’s your skill. Acknowledge it, recognize it, understand it, constantly improve it. Swordsmanship has no ultimate limit.”

Su Xiao draws out Dragon Slash, relaxing his body and mind, and performs a casual slash.

...

The enhancement of Sword Technique Master begins. Under Golden Lion’s guidance, Su Xiao’s understanding of his weapon deepens, he is completely engrossed in the process of becoming stronger.

Time passes unknown, when Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt suddenly appears.

[Sword Technique Master has been enhanced to Lv.18.]

Following the prompt, Su Xiao’s surroundings change, Golden Lion disappears, and the dojo vanishes. He’s back in his private room.

Though reluctant, he accepts it as inevitable since his Sword Technique Master has increased by 5 levels.

”Understanding of the heart, blade, and nature, the process of growing stronger from within to outside, quite reasonable.”

Su Xiao performs a slash, Dragon Slash slices through the air, producing a mournful sound.

Clang.

A light blue blade aura separates from the blade of Dragon Slash, leaving a slash mark on the refrigerator not far away.

Su Xiao is surprised, glancing down at Dragon Slash, then looking at the not-deep slash mark on the refrigerator.

He just produced a blade aura!

A smile appears on Su Xiao’s face, though the power of his blade aura is weak, it’s a sign that his sword technique has reached a supernatural degree, allowing him to produce blade auras.

This is the beginning of a legend. Without being able to produce blade auras, sword technique will always be limited to the mundane, merely swinging a weapon. The ability to produce blade auras marks a watershed.

Su Xiao has a premonition that when Sword Technique Master reaches Lv.20, the power of his blade aura will dramatically increase, perhaps even matching the power of his close combat cleaves.

After producing a few more blade auras, their power may lack, but the sensation of slashing to a distance is very gratifying.

Su Xiao puts away Dragon Slash and, with Bubu Teni, quickly exits his private room, heading straight for the Arena.

Arriving at the Arena, after a long wait, he finds a match with a Contractor ranked seventeenth in the Arena first tier.

Five minutes later, Su Xiao exits the Arena, having gained new insights into his current strength. The Contractor ranked seventeenth was somewhat unfortunate; she was a Mage, a beautiful Blood Mage.

After being slashed twice by Su Xiao, the beautiful Mage immediately chose to surrender, as her magic wand was not suitable for close combat swinging, and casting skills while enduring Su Xiao’s cleave was impossible for her.

If Su Xiao’s previous combat strength was 100, his current combat strength starts at least at 200.

Sword Technique Master is his main combat method, and as it increased by a full 8 levels, his current combat strength is not an exaggeration.

[Sword Technique Master: LV.18. (Passive)]

Skill Effect: Increases sword attack power by 77%, significantly enhances sword skill.

Lv.10 Additional Ability

Rule of All Things (High Level): This ability cannot be enhanced in Reincarnation Paradise and can only be improved through the Hunter’s own realization.

...

In any case, the current Sword Technique Master seems terrifyingly powerful.

In high spirits, Su Xiao returns to his private room, purchasing 800 Paradise coins worth of high-level snacks for Bubu Wang on the way, delighting it greatly as it frolics among a pile of snacks.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Xiao takes out a bunch of Scarlet Cards and three treasure chests.

Scarlet Card ×10, Blue Treasure Chest ×2, Purple Treasure Box ×1.

Playing with the Fate Redeeming Lighter in hand, the ’European King’ moment has arrived.
